It probably is but if you had told us from the outset where the pictures were taken we might have been able to identify the bird then. For all we know the bird was photographed in the Zambezi River valley in which case we wouldn't even have considered Cape Weaver.

Ok let's try that again, and thanks Kamadejo . Photo should now be attached. Hopefully someone can tell me what bird it is! It's funny but for the last 4 years all I've had is that photo and have been wondering every time just what does it's face look like

Thanks in advance,

I may not be from Africa, but since my first visit a part of me always remains there. Can’t wait for the next trip, which will be the 10th

Hi Sharky,This is what your bird's face looks like It is a Cape Weaver, they love aloe flowers and their faces turn red from the pollenI took my pics in the Addo Park. I see there is some spekboom in the back groundof your pic, was it also taken in Addo?
